Amen. Please release this...that or phone up Santa Monica Studio and sell it to them for the next God of War title! They'll probably have Bear McCreary rearrange the vocal part for their Viking vocalist Eivór! Would be so epic!
First off Amazing final product... Secondly you had me rolling on those initial vocals (mine would be worse btw). But the guts to own that deserves an award in itself.

This is what a great producer/audio engineer is capable of 🤩 Literally that could be a an Oscar winning score for a sci fi movie, It was good at the level of hanszimmer , hats off
Not bad at all!! Your cracking voice translated into raw emotion pitched up xD This would work well in experimental or electronic music, or as a mono track in a wide, busy mix with lots of other sounds. It even sounds cool as a "heavily modulated male voice" rather than trying to actually sound like a human woman. Once you start singing actual words is when it gets trickier. The different inflections men and women use, and just the different ratio of high to low frequencies that make up a total male or female voice varies, which is why making changing the pitch alone ineffective. PLUS human hearing is insanely sensitive to tone, especially in regards to the human voice. You can pitch any regular sound, and easily trick your brain, but you try pitch the complex human voice and your brain's like "nice try, dude". But some oohs and aahs, reverberated to hell, in the background, with a wide, busy mix, that definitely sounds cool :)
Yes! It is particularly challenging to turn a male SPEAKING voice into a female SPEAKING voice. I can't do it perfectly, but I've made it work on a small scale before. It involves actually imitating female voice resonance and tendancy, then pitching up only slightly. It's mostly the actor's responsibility, honestly.
@@AlexWalkerSmithAh yes that makes sense. When I try a female voice I sound like Michael Jackson recovering from throat surgery haha. It's no good. Cheers 🥂 gonna mess around with this method
Wow I was so not expecting to hear that when you pressed play on the whole track. That was beautiful. Sounds like something that should be in horizon zero dawn/forbidden west. Amazing.
Dude, this sounds good for what you did as an experimentation. I usually find myself also just doing stuff for the sake of it, and it works. I guess when inspiration just hits you and you go with it, that's what makes it sound great
Man thanks for the video! I laughed my ass of at first and after thinking that you don’t know what you’re talking about, thinking this was just a great laugh then realised you did a genius work. Great lesson with entertainment!
First of all, amazing job. Great stuff. Secondly, thanks for including the raw audio, and more importantly, for laughing at it! One can't help but laugh along with you. Nicely done!
Man even your editing of the sounds is fantastic and also off topic I still want to thank you for 'There you are' that song is such an amazing song and I listen to it a lot and I couldn't thank you enough for it.
I'm glad you had a good laugh! Audacity is a decent clip editor, but it's now a full DAW. I would recommend getting Reaper. It's very affordable, and VERY powerful, but it's not exactly user-friendly for beginners (it assumes you know quite a bit about music production and using DAWs). But there are a ton of tutorials on UA-cam for it, so maybe give Reaper a try!
That turned out to be an amazing piece. It could be in a movie soundtrack and a big hit. Really great and even better that the raw audio was so bad. There is hope for all of us.
I LOVED IT U FUNNY CHEETAH AAAAAA LOL DNT WORRY WE ARE LUCKY THAT WE CAN USE EFFECTS ETC AND THAT WILL SAVE US FROM SOUNDING HORRIBLE IT HAPPENS SAME TO ME WHEN I LISTEN TO MY VOICE BUT WITH EFFECTS ETC IS FINE AFTER ALL LOL
Hey, that is very impressive. The final result sounded great. I'm looking to do the opposite: have my female voice sound like a male voice, and to have that male voice sound as natural as possible. Also, I will be speaking, not singing. What would you advise me to use? Would this "Alter Boy" be a good program for me to get? Thanks for any help you can give!
That's a difficult task, actually. If it's not going to be scrutinized, you might be able to get away with using Little Alter Boy, and the most people might think is "that guys voice sounds a little weird." But in order to convincingly change the gender of a speaking voice, the person speaking has to be making an effort to begin with. When I want my voice to sound female, I have to speak with as little resonance as I can (that is, I reduce the amount I feel my voice vibrate in my chest). I also have to use feminine cadences and tendencies. Then, I can affect the pitch/formant in post and get a fairly realistic result. However, I can't simply speak naturally and do post production to sound female, it just doesn't work that way. Now, female-to-male would be even more difficult, because where male-to-female involves REMOVING a feature in your voice, female-to-male would require ADDING a feature. A female voice typically doesn't resonate like a male voice. I don't think Little Alter Boy will work super convincingly by itself for this task, and in fact I would be very interested how well a top-tier audio professional would be able to do it.
@@embro4564 He said natural voice and scrutinized, so it's not only dropping pitch and add bass, it would result in sounding unnatural. I think both changes are hard and need different treatment. Also, what sounds you would like to hear and the sound/voice source also determines the difficulty.
Awesome Tremolo plugin you added using Logic-- I'm on a PC using Studio One DAW-- can you recommend another tremolo Plugin FX.....also did you automate the tremolo FX or have it the same setting throughout the Vocals.
No, not usually. A male voice has more resonance than a female voice. So if you take a female voice and lower it to a male register (or vice versa) it doesn't sound right. To sound female, a male would have to speak with very little resonance (think of Michael Jackson's speaking voice) before raising the pitch. Also, as I did in this video, tweaking the formant can help.
@@xantohjan Thank you for being logical. I wasn’t trying to be homosexual in any sense, but somehow that idiot thought I was. I swear, people like them are the reason the moments made around the issue don't gain any traction.
Hey! I already liked and saved this to playlist for later use but… the way you asked for us to like and subscribe at the end?… subscribe button engaged! Lol
Actually how it worked was that your initial vocal really lacked some in technicality but overall tone and emotion were good so Logic helped with fixing errors and good things were left, nice channel will revisit !
Dude. Props to the guy for the balls to drop raw audio like that 👏👏👏
Thanks, hahaha! I have nothing to hide, I'm not claiming to be a singer or anything 😜
That raw audio(& ur reaction to it) earned u my subscription. It also made the finished track that much more impressive. Cheers & Thanks for tip!
LMAO
Raw audio: "that was terrible."
An hour later: *the most emotional music ever made in the last decade*
Hi. That video is interesting. We are having a play and we want to convert a song from male voice to female voice. How would that be possible?
hahahahah
You really need to make a full song of this ethereal piece. I GOT addicted to it

I like the raw version better.

whats the software name

Glad I was able to woo you with my lovely cracking and off-pitch singing! XD
It`s not 'not baad' it`s dope, bro! Thank you for sharing this tip! Very useful.
Lol. You've got major balls putting the raw out there. But the final mix is amazing. Kudos my man.
hero!!! This is definitely cheaper than surgery.. (Also, I imagine automating audio warping in bitwig would do most of this in 1 step)

Yeah, no this is pretty incredible. I will forever be a fan of yours dude. Forever. Forever and ever and ever. And ever. ❤️ Love from South Africa
Oh man, Alex, this is your first video that I'm watching. You got a subscriber! Lovin' the flow!

T here are even phone apps that do it female to male. That's way easier. Drop pitch. Add bass and not much else needed

what the fuck that's so amazing
I've been on and off practicing in FL Studio, I hope the one day have this kinda black magic talent
Real question:
So is any female's voice just a male voice high pitched?...and vice versa?
No, not usually. A male voice has more resonance than a female voice. So if you take a female voice and lower it to a male register (or vice versa) it doesn't sound right. To sound female, a male would have to speak with very little resonance (think of Michael Jackson's speaking voice) before raising the pitch. Also, as I did in this video, tweaking the formant can help.
